Stealth David Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Can you still play the Windows 8 version after upgrading to windows 10 if so how? Or do I have to go buy a windows 8 tablet now to complete this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheshallow Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) NOTE: I made a mistake. DO NOT login to Windows 10 with your progess. I just noticed that it kicked it into another new list. So now I have to complete same thing all over again. Fucking great. Thankfully some of the longer achievements are completed but still, fuck.

Orion Ben Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I do have to restart every medal achievement, I see the completed on top but got 1/12 for my July play in the bronze one in the Win 10 version. Guess it's back for another year of playing (and another 10 bucks for premium) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEADLY DOG Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So if you upgrade to Windows 10 then you no longer have access to the Win 8 version of Micro Solitaire? I thought you had to upgrade Microsoft Solitaire as well in order to get that to be a Windows 10 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheshallow Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) This is exactly what happens for people wondering: If you choose to upgrade to Windows 10, you will have to use another computer/tablet that still has Windows 8 or download VMWare or something like that in order to play Windows 8 version of Solitaire. Windows 10 Solitaire is a completely different thing. When I upgraded, I did unlock achievements right off the bat. Here is the list: Go For the Gold Diamonds are Forever Become a Star Become a Superstar That was it. I had everything else done on the Windows 8 side and none of that was tracked to Windows 10 which sucks. But THANK GOD they are tracking my medals won. I am up to 8 right now. I would be incredibly pissed if I had to do another years worth of this. NOTE: Now because of these being tracked, I believe that say I stay on Windows 10 for another 4 months and get my 2 silvers and 4 bronzes that I need. I believe because it's cloud synced, that when I do log back into Windows 8, it will have tracked those other medals I finished on the Windows 10 side. Don't quote me on that. Maybe someone who has both Windows 10 and 8 right now can test it to see? Edited August 3, 2015 by intheshallow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YA BILLY Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 ^^ is it true medal progress only syncs windows 8 to windows 10 and not windows 10 to windows 8??? So basically you must play on windows 8 for medals then sync them to windows 10??? Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheshallow Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 That part I have no idea. I will try to find out myself later this week when I have some time. I need to get VMWare and partition some space for Win 8. Or maybe just upgrade my laptop to Win 8 from Win 7. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEADLY DOG Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Drat... Looks like I'm putting off Windows 10 for another 10 months. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarda1 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 You can only sync from 8 to 10 not the other way around. I did a challenge on windows 10 and had to redo it on windows 8 then I did another challenge on windows 8 and when I booted up windows 10 I got a message that says I had made progress on windows 8. I also read on their facebook page that it would only work that way. None of my medals or other progress carried over to windows 10 and the game isn't even finished yet so I would just stick with 8 if you're worried about achievements. Hopefully by the time you get all your medals this game will work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheshallow Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Thank you for the update. I was just about to test it out myself as I'm having to get a VM for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
